longer reads

✩ To Vanish Into Something Better by @m0srael [E, 35k]

Harry Potter thought he could outrun the burden of infamy by isolating himself in the Muggle world. Draco Malfoy hasn’t been seen or heard from since his trial. Will a top-secret Ministry project, a beautiful garden, and a little heat carry them both home? [H/D Erised 2021]

Dirty Little Secret by @writcraft [E, 22k] 🔥

When someone threatens Harry’s life, Kingsley decides to send him to a safe house with only Draco Malfoy for company. As the two men are forced together, memories of the past resurface and secrets are discovered. [Harry/Draco Erised]

The Seventh Life by @corvuscrowned [E, 18k] 🔥🏳️‍⚧️

If Draco had looked the other way, he may never have seen him again. But Draco turned, because he always would have turned. He found him, because he always would have found him - in life, in death, or in Paris. OR: Draco is an immortal vampire. Harry is trapped in eternal cycles of life, death, and reincarnation. They meet again in Paris, and the seventh life isn't any less complicated than the first. [HD Fangfest 2022]

✩ Where I see things right by InnerLilith [E, 15k]

When Harry finds himself unexpectedly pregnant after a one-off with Draco Malfoy, he knows he isn’t keeping it. But when actually getting the abortion turns out to be more complicated than Harry expected, he finds himself turning to Malfoy for help through the process. And that’s actually much less complicated than Harry expected.

✩ embrace the deception by @swoontodeath [M, 13k]

Draco Malfoy shouldn’t feel like the stable one, not when he spends his days pretending to have clairvoyant powers and solving mysteries with Neville Longbottom. Harry Potter, however, seems to be on the edge of a breakdown, and he’s growing increasingly obsessed with his former rival. [Lights Camera Drarry 2022]

Harry Potter: DILF Hunter by @vukovich [E, 11k] 🔥

Auror Potter doesn't know what a DILF is, but if Malfoy's one, then Harry's gonna be the Ministry's best DILF Hunter ever! Or, five times Harry heard Draco was a DILF, and one time he found it to be pleasantly true.

the complete idiot’s guide to losing your entire mind by @oknowkiss [E, 10k] 🔥

A primer, by Harry James Potter, age 34. Qualifications: lived experience. OR: Draco Malfoy, Ministry of Magic Being Resources representative, accidentally invents No Nut November.

shorter reads (< 10k)

✩ Glowing by @cavendishbutterfly [T, 9.7k] 🌼🏳️‍⚧️

Harry's lived alone and vampiric in his cottage for ages, until a long-lived Draco Malfoy suddenly shows up to answer an advertisement Harry had practically forgotten he'd put in the Prophet. Cue soft blood drinking, quiet nights of reading and crocheting, and Harry thinking that maybe--just maybe--he might not be so alone anymore. [HD Fangfest 2022]

Perfect for him by anxioussquirrel [T, 8.3k]

Draco Malfoy is getting married. In a turn of events he’d never have believed possible, he is getting married to a man who’s perfect for him. Absolutely perfect.

✩ First Week of Eternity by InnerLilith [E, 7.8k] 🔥

In which Draco tries desperately to hide that he’s recently become a vampire, and Harry tries desperately to feed him. [HD Fangfest 2022]

let me be your sun by @owl-of-fandom [M, 7.8k]

“Tell me you love me.” / “Oh, darling.” The endearment falls from Harry’s lips as if the affection was his own. As if it wasn’t planted in his mind, in his heart, by me. / “I love you." [HD Fangfest 2022]

Sweet Like Candy in my Veins by @shah-writes [M, 7.6k]

In which Harry is a magical theorist with a penchant for catching vampires for the Aurors and Draco is the vampire who’s in love with him. [HD Fangfest 2022]

The First Taste by @maraudersaffair [E, 7.1k] 🔥

After being ostracized by nearly everyone after the war, Draco says yes when Harry offers him a place to stay. Perhaps he should have looked the gift horse in the mouth, however, when he discovers Harry is not all he seems. [HD Fangfest 2022]

Conversation In Café Cygnus by @ladderofyears [M, 6k]

Draco falls pregnant unexpectedly and breaks off the secret love affair that he's been having with Harry Potter. When Draco decides to keep the baby, Harry and he spend the remaining months of the pregnancy getting to know one another.

light as the sky above by @candybarrnerd [E, 5.6k] 🔥

Harry notices Draco leave. Harry’s always had one eye watching Draco, and old habits die hard. [H/D Erised 2021]

Harry Potter and the Half-Guard Prince by @swoontodeath [M, 4.4k]

Banished to the Muggle world by the conditions of his parole, Draco Malfoy is forced to learn how to protect himself without magic. The Half-Guard Prince might never show his face in his videos, but that low, seductive voice is strangely familiar… [Quidditch Fest 2022]

✩ Catch Midnight by @tackytigerfic [E, 4k] 🔥

They're the Auror/ Unspeakable team of Robards' nightmares. They're madly in love with each other, but also blindly oblivious to the fact. They can feel each other's magic. They jump out of windows. And Malfoy does a lot of watching Harry wank.

✩ Take You Made by @tackytigerfic [E, 3.9k] 🔥

"Draco didn’t believe in soulmates, but Harry Potter was the closest thing he had to one, so he was just going to keep pushing those inconvenient loving thoughts aside until one day he could learn how to get rid of them for good."

✩ Let Me Count the Ways by @thebooktopus [E, 3.5k] 🌼

Intimacy comes in many forms. Draco wants to explore them all with Harry. [HP Pride Secret Santa 2022]

Di sotto in sù by @vivantesopales [E, 3.4k] 🔥

Draco thinks it's best they stop seeing each other. Harry disagrees. [HD Fangfest 2022]

Harry’s Flower by @potteresque-ire [M, 3.2k]

Draco had always received one flower—no more, no less—from Harry every day. He never thought the flowers would run out, until Harry was critically wounded… [Harry/Draco Owlpost 2016]

Face Me (And I’ll be There to Hold You) by bluemermaid54 [E, 2.2k] 🔥🌼

They only have sex facing away from each other. Tonight, Harry wants to change that.

✩ Willing Blood by @lqtraintracks & @the-starryknight [E, 2.1k] 🔥

Seven days together, years ago; seventy-four hours and thirty-eight minutes trapped in this house alone; and now one chance to stop himself from draining Potter dry. Will Draco take it? Will Harry let him? [HD Fangfest 2022]

✩ all the small things by @tryslora [E, 2k] 🔥

Harry is not hung and Draco loves giving him head because of that. If it happens to be a way to silently say I love you that’s just a coincidence.

Fanged Delight by DrWhoIsGinnyHolmes [E, 2k]

Recently turned vampire Draco just developed his special vampiric skill: mind reading. It was now time to discover everyone's dirty little secrets, starting with Harry Potter himself. It just wasn't what Draco expected and now he has to deal with the consequences. [HD Fangfest 2022]

Painted Me Golden by @purplehotmess [M, 1.4k]

Each time I was with you, though, the chasm of yearning widened like a maw of a predator ready to chomp on my bleeding heart.

✩ What You’ve Come For by @nv-md [E, 1.3k] 🔥

It doesn't matter that Draco's a bloodthirsty vampire, Harry can't stay away from him, and they come together night after night in the Astronomy Tower. [HD Fangfest 2022]

✩ Serenity by Rasborealis [E, 953 words] 🔥🌼

After the war, Draco is broken. Harry attempts to fix him any way he can.

art gallery

✩ The flames are part of us by @pato-roldnart [G, digital art]

Harry has never had any doubt to stop and extinguish the flames and their fire wielders. After his first encounter with their leader Draco Malfoy, Harry is starting to get suspicious of the Ministry and their intentions to catch every witch and wizard that can control fire. [LCDrarry 2022]

Hidden Away by @celilasart [T, art & poem]

Your sweet blood on my red lips, / your soft skin under my fingertips. [HD Fangfest 2022]

non-drarry

✩ Best in Blue by @cavendishbutterfly [Teddy/James Sirius, E, 11k] 🏳️‍⚧️🔥

James shouldn't have messed up his knee in a Quidditch game. And he shouldn't have come back to London before it healed. He also definitely shouldn't be wandering around Teddy's flat looking that fucking attractive and lovely, but that's a different problem entirely.

Previous Fic Lists / Lulu’s List Podcast Masterpost

June was a rough month for me and because of that I apparently took to reading. A LOT. I was able to finish 19 fics/series this month, and there are some hella high word counts in here, but I hope that doesn't scare you off, because they're amazing as well. Always a fan of variety, there are also some really great ficlets in here too, so if you aren't someone who can read long fics, that's fine. I promise I've got some in here for you too! I'm afraid I used a lot of the same phrases to explain how very much I enjoyed all of these fics, but they truly were all such fantastic reads, so I hope you find some in here that you will also be able to read and enjoy!

[my-johnlockficrecs]

bet you thought you wouldn’t see more of these lists huh. man. this one has been sitting in my drafts for SO long now, mostly complete except for this little chatty bit. those of you who’ve been around for a while probably know i’m a champion procrastinator but this one really takes the cake 🤡 june felt very much like a nothing-month because nothing really happened. it was just very monotonous. and also hot. hope y’all’s june was fun though! and that it wasn’t too unbearably hot, wherever you live. july is basically over now, and wow this was. one hell of a month. and i think that threw me off a bit! after a whole month of nothing, suddenly EVERYTHING happened, and just kept happening, and it was all a bit much. not in a totally bad way, but definitely overwhelming. anyway, i shall cease the rambling now 😮‍💨 on to the main event!

✰ Totus Mundus Agit Histrionem by mistyzeo (42k, E) 🔎

The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when he became a specialist in crime.

January, 1881: a despondent army doctor is offered a ticket to a Shakespeare play, and is instantly captivated by the fellow playing the Danish prince himself. Then there is a murder. Then they fall in love.

i was hooked to this fic from the very first meeting of john and sherlock. a john pov that is so so good, it’s adorable to read how mesmerising and irresistible john finds sherlock. the flirting and wooing is so subtle and delicately done, even though it’s because they have to avoid drawing attention to their sexualities, there is an undeniable and inherent romanticism and sensuality to it. the whole fic is so sensual to me, with an unhurried pace that tells me the author has superb control over the fic. also a lovely sapphic couple in there too! (hint: one half of the couple is irene 😉) i absolutely love the interactions between the two couples, when john and sherlock can finally be comfortable and be themselves around at least two of their friends 🥹 and, of course, there is a murder. the balance between case and romance is perfect in my view, not too much and not too little of either. the two end up blending into one another, which is exactly as it should be.

Do You Want to Know a Secret? by @chriscalledmesweetie (59, G) 🏳️‍🌈

John has a secret. Does Greg want to know?

The Hike-n-Talk Fall by @chriscalledmesweetie (529, G) 🏳️‍🌈

Sherlock is falling for John. Quite literally.

Paint Your Palette Lavender by @chriscalledmesweetie (80, G) 🏳️‍🌈

Sherlock has an epiphany.

Giving Us Lift by @chriscalledmesweetie (485, G) 🏳️‍🌈

How will John entertain Rosie while Sherlock is out on a case?

Interval by berlynn_wohl (3k, E) 🐺

"You shouldn't leave the window open in your state. It's dangerous.”

Antiseptic by @gaylilsherlock (3k, G)

What did John hear on that secret tape from Culverton’s hospital?

Both Sides Now by @totallysilvergirl (12k, M)

Sherlock, undercover on the Norfolk coast, texts that he needs help; John is still seething after Sherlock’s gambit in the train car, and he refuses. When Sherlock goes missing, Mycroft sends John in to pose as Sherlock’s bit on the side.

For Rent by Sexxica (4k, E)

John needs to let off some steam. What better way to do it than by hiring the prettiest rentboy on the block?

En Pointe by standbygo (3k, E)

Sherlock tries pointe shoes. John approves.

Random Numbers by songlin (1k, teen)

Just because they're not having sex doesn't mean they aren't intimate.

A collection of moments in the relationship of asexual!Sherlock and straight!John.

All That I Have by the_arc5 (3k, M)

In the aftermath of the Great Game, Sherlock finds himself with a new weakness. John is both the cause and the cure.

Neriine by Accident, holmesian_love (4k, teen)

Sherlock couldn’t resist. It wasn’t his fault. He had been walking by an alley and it called to him. So he put it in his coat pocket and took it home. He didn’t know how John would react. They had only been together two months now and he didn’t want to ruin things so early on, but he just couldn’t say no. He kept his hand in his pocket, holding his prize.

Il Est Revenu, Mon Amour by @gaylilsherlock (2k, G)

Can things that were once broken be put back together?

Happy Anniversary by Salamboo6 (3k, E)

John inhaled deeply, feeling his cock pulse under the silk gown, and he let his eyes travel on the lean body in front of him.

Sherlock was kneeling on the bed, their bed, and the picture had been taken so John could perfectly see his bare chest and pelvis. But what mattered most, what made John harden rather quickly, was the pair of panties Sherlock was wearing in the picture. Black, string over each hip and laces that outlined Sherlock’s erect cock barely hidden under the soft underwear.

Lingerie by Sexxica (4k, E) 💌

It's Valentines Day and Sherlock is taking John to Angelo's for dinner. Sherlock also happens to be wearing a garter belt, stockings and a rather small pair of women's underwear under his clothes. There's no dessert at Angelo's because John needs to get Sherlock home just as quickly as he can before they both lose their minds entirely.

Cypher by roane (2k, M)

When Sherlock fails to solve a case in time, John will need to be there to pick up the pieces.

Incendiary Hearts by @gaylilsherlock (1k, E)

What really happened in a corner of an abandoned tunnel in the London Underground?

Sherlock Holmes, the Artist by @gaylilsherlock (1k, G)

What if Sherlock had come back home to John before he’d ever even moved out of 221B?

Tell Me Your Secret by @gaylilsherlock (4k,E)

“You can use your soldier voice.”

Still, With Hearts Beating by @finamour (2k, E)

John already knows the sound of Sherlock’s heartbeat. He’s become familiar with his breathing patterns, the way they grow quicker and more shallow as the two of them run through the streets of London. He has, in a passing manner, come to know Sherlock’s scent; the colour of his skin in the dim light of the alleyway; the way his hair grows matted and sweaty against the nape of his neck on a warm July night.

But he has never been pressed up against Sherlock like this, the rise and fall of his breath pushing into his own body through their thin summer clothes. Until now, he has never been fully immersed in his scent, felt his hair softly brushing his face, the thrumming of Sherlock’s heart against his own chest.

fortune favours by @simplyclockwork (5k, M)

On military leave, John Watson discovers that his sister has signed him up for a blind date book event. The set-up is simple: one person brings a book and ends up on a blind date with whoever chooses their contribution.

To say that John is reluctant to attend is an understatement. Luckily, sparks fly between him and a stunning new author when he makes an unorthodox selection from the book choices.

short fics (5k-15k)

Stronger Than This by Laiquilasse (8k, E) 🐺

Sherlock is convinced John is stronger than his Alpha instincts, and he stronger than his Omega. So when Sherlock goes into heat, this is the first time John remains at Baker Street with him.

Heart Like Glass by Laiquilasse (15k, E) 🐺

It's the day after Sherlock's heat has ended, and a trip to the pharmacy brings out emotional baggage for both Sherlock and John. Sherlock struggles with the physical after-effects, and John with affarirs of the heart. As John takes care of the only omega in his life, he has to question how long they can keep this up, and whether there are some things better left unsaid, and if a life without bonding is truly possible for them.

Reignite by augustbird (9k, teen)

When Mary dies, John finds himself in financial trouble without a home for himself and his young son. There's not much choice except to turn to his ex, Sherlock Holmes.

Two Facts by SailorChibi (6k, G) 🐺

When Sherlock and John first mated they decided that they didn't want children. But now Sherlock's pregnant and it's threatening to tear his world apart. He knows John will leave him once he finds out, but how can he decide between his alpha and the child he didn't know he wanted?

A Fortuitous Oversight by scribblesinthebyline (14k, E) 🐺

Sherlock Holmes was perfectly content being a single parent until a scent on the wind caught his attention.

Casualty by @totallysilvergirl (12k, E)

Sherlock renders assistance at a hit-and-run and is left deeply shocked. When the accident turns into a case, John moves back in to 221b to help—and finds that Sherlock has way oversold his image as an emotionless thinking machine

The Important Bit by Solshine (9k, G)

Just where exactly is the line between “to love” and “to be in love”? What difference is required between “flatmate” and “husband”? (Besides the rings, obviously.) No, the important bit is that they have each other. Thirty years, give or take, in an atypical marriage. Basically a long bit of platonic domestic fluff.

The Losing Side by EchoSilverWolf, englandwouldfalljohn (10k, teen)

Sherlock was the only person whose loss had ever brought Captain John Watson to his knees.

I Need You to See Me by Mssmithlove (12k, E)

After going back to war, John is yet again invalided home, this time with a broken ankle and a chunk of his memory missing, unable to recall the last five years he's spent being Sherlock Holmes' partner and husband.

Strong at the Broken Places by @blueink3 (10k, M)

They dated for ten months during Sherlock's first year of uni and John's last before the latter went off to fight someone else's war.

When they meet again two-and-a-half years later, John's gained a scar in his shoulder and a limp he can't seem to shake.

Sherlock's gained a new boyfriend and bruises he can't seem to explain away.

The Adventure of the Apocalypse by CopperBeech (12k, teen)

John's anger at Sherlock over Mary's death meant a long break in their friendship, and it’s only precariously patched up. But now he's back in the sitting room of Baker Street, listening to a plump little bookseller and his dire-looking companion explain why they need Sherlock to help them find a certain boy before the impending End Of The World.

Rains of fish, violin playing, fast driving in a Ford Fiesta, and Sherlock and John working out what they mean to each other in the shadow of Armageddon.

Locked Room Mysteries (or, what really goes on at 221B) by @gaylilsherlock (12k, G)

What do the dashing detective and his beloved blogger get up to when the case is finished? More than you’d think.

All the Flavours, Cherry and More by cwb (6k, E)

“Mm, what is that? You taste good.”

“Cherry lip gloss.”

“Fabulous. What other secrets do you have for me, then?”

Sherlock feels a blush rising to touch his cheeks, more sensual than uncomfortable now that he knows John isn't disgusted by him. No, John is responding exactly the way he had hoped.

By the Bi by emilycare (7k, teen)

It's been a year of living together. Sherlock and John are getting more comfortable with one another. A bit. John's out of sorts tonight though.

Irene Adler insisted to John that he and Sherlock are in a relationship. This has John rethinking his understanding of himself. And Sherlock...well, is Sherlock. But in the face of some movie night cuddling, key information--finally--is shared.

Cracking the Code by CaitlinFairchild (6k, E)

They’re sure of each other, now. They’re settled. And as far as Sherlock is concerned, settled isn’t the least bit boring or stifling or constraining.

Settled is marvellous. Settled is freeing.

Settled means sometimes you make romantic love by candlelight, murmuring hushed words of endless devotion solely because you want to, because the moment feels right and good.

And sometimes, settled means you fuck on the sofa on a Saturday afternoon, straightforward and uncomplicated, no deep desperate romance necessary, just because fucking is fun.

mid length (16k-50k)

Shift by stopthat (46k, E)

Sherlock is tired.

John senses a shift.

◒

“I’m tired, John,” He murmurs. Barely a whisper. John swallows, feeling irrationally helpless.

“I can see that,” He responds quietly, tracing an eyebrow with the pad of his thumb. “Sleep, then,” He can hear the crack in his own voice—a perfect match for the one in his chest. He hopes that Sherlock won’t notice, won’t try to pick it all apart.

“Not what I meant,” He rumbles, as he drifts off and away, leaving John alone in wakefulness to wonder what the hell had just happened.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To Samarra by @gaylilsherlock (20k, E) 🔎

And so Death said, “I was astonished to see your servant in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight, in Samarra.”

Holmes and Watson retreat to the good doctor’s family country home and lay their feelings bare. What follows, however, neither man could have foreseen.

*ACD-verse fic, imagined with Brett, Burke & later on Hardwicke, as the players, hence my fandom tags.

Let’s Make a Bed Out in the Rain by anonymous (17k, M)

John is devastated after his long-term girlfriend leaves him. Sherlock helps him through it.

Leave the Signs and the Sirens by out_there (24k, G)

After John's released and back home at Baker St, Sherlock still feels it. Down the centre of his chest there's an ache like a healing wound. A physical awareness of a body he usually ignores as much as he can. It's psychosomatic, nothing more interesting than that.

(Post-S1 AU)

long fics (50k and above)

The Men Who Talked Between Words by Odamaki (463k, E)

John expected to be a father some day; he expected to have the house, and the wife and the nice suburban job. Sherlock never expected to have children, in part because he never expected to make it past 30. As it turns out, you don't get a choice. Crammed into Baker Street with a baby, John struggles with single-parenthood and his own fears, while Sherlock treads the fine line between doing too little and saying too much.

Summit Fever by J_Baillier (78k, M)

After graduating from medical school, John Watson followed his heart to the Himalayas. Ten years later, he's a haunted cynic working for his ex-lover's trekking and mountaineering company. Will leading an expedition to Annapurna I — the most lethal of all the world's highest mountains — shake John out of his reverie, and who is the mystery client added to the group at the last minute?

The Agony and The Ecstasy of Sherlock Holmes by @gaylilsherlock (54k, E)

How many times will Sherlock Holmes die for John Watson?

Hello friends! Last two months were just madness but I'm back! I finally had time to get up to date with my tbr and to put together this little list!

I wanna remind you just how important reblogs and feedback are! While I was less active some of my favourite writers have decided to deactivate or delete their works because they didn't get enough recognition. My heart is broken but I can't blame them, I totally understand it. So please - if you read and enjoy a story, share it with others and give it some love!! Thank you!

To all the writers - I love you and I appreciate you so much!

To all the readers - please, share the fics you read and love. The reblog really makes the change! It’s the least we can do to show our gratitude.

It wasn’t an uncommon experience in the slightest, to watch young ladies essentially throw themselves at the blond. He guessed it was one of the perks of being a first son. It’s not like George would know. Sometimes he felt like he didn’t know anything.

Fic Recs Wrap Up - June 2022

The Kisses Don’t Count, If No One Else Knows by oldenuf2nb @dianacopland

Minister for Magic Harry Potter does not love his job. The one bright point in his life is his secret relationship with Quidditch Super Star Draco Malfoy. When they’re ‘outed’ by a peeping tom with a camera, Harry has to decide what’s really important. Rec Post

Slithering by astolat @astolat

Draco found the nest down in the Manor’s cellars, while he was clearing them out. Rec Post , Art by @argido, Art by @miakagrewup, Art by @badwriterrr, and this cooool post!

On Your Shore by xanthippe74 @xanthippe74

Clearing out a remote house full of cursed collectibles in the Outer Hebrides? Not a problem for an experienced curse breaker like Harry Potter. Spending a week with the straight, happily-married man that he’s starting to have feelings for? And sharing a bed with him at night? Surely Harry can handle that, too. But both the house and Draco Malfoy have secrets to uncover, and Harry might be in deeper water than he thought. Rec Post

Silence Breaks The Heart by simeysgirl

Boy meets boy. Boy falls in love with boy. They live happily ever after. Harry only wished it was that simple. Rec Post

Asking For A Friend? by RoonilWazlibMalfoy @evenmyzefronposter

Asking for a friend? Don’t be shy! I’m Genna Russ with advice! Draco Malfoy, drag queen and agony aunt for the Daily Prophet, is very happy with his life. He loves his job. He loves his drag queen persona. And he loves the fact that the wider Wizarding world doesn’t know who is offering them sassy advice with their morning news. When he starts receiving letters from one Harry Potter – letters that are too racy to publish – he does the only thing he can do: he replies. His carefully constructed secret life is at risk of being blown wide open, but he just can’t help himself. Draco never did have any self-control where the Prat Who Lived was concerned. Rec Post

Research and Development by sassy_cissa @sassy-cissa

Draco comes back into Harry’s life just as several of Harry’s patients are beset by a mysterious new ailment. Racing against the clock, and their rising passions, can Harry and Draco work together to find a cure… or will they be too late? Rec Post

Starkissed by Zigster @zigster-ao3

“Your tattoos!” The intruder says, boldly stepping over Ron’s chaise and crossing in front of Hermione to get to Harry, eyes wide and hungry. Harry immediately sits up, pulling the towel draped across the back of his chair down over his shoulders.   “No! Don’t cover them. They’re beautiful.”

Harry hopes an indulgent trip abroad will help shake him out of the doldrums of his life. What he finds once he gets to Venice is more than he ever expected. Rec Post

Exposure by GallaPlacidia

When Seamus uncovers Draco Malfoy’s camboy profile, he, Harry and Ron decide to anonymously book a private show so as to humiliate him later. Fascinated by Draco’s confidence, Harry keeps booking private shows under the disguise…Rec Post

If an Injury Is to Be Inflicted by shealwaysreads (onereader)@shealwaysreads

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

Harry Potter disappeared a year after the Battle of Hogwarts, and with him went all hope for true change in magical Britain.

Three years later, Draco indulges himself and attends his first Dog Fight—the infamous underground fights with no rules, no referee, and no points system bar blood on the floor. The game was simple: you win, or you die.

A glint of green amidst the blood-red changes everything. Rec Post

Here are a few more fics I've read recently that y'all might like to check out as well! (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

Pages of You by wolfpants @wolfpants

Harry stares at the scrawl of neatly slanted handwriting, imprinted on crisp white paper that hadn’t been torn from a notebook like his own. He slumps back against his pillows, reads the letter again, and his grin grows so wide that it actually hurts his cheeks.

He’s definitely royalty. Has to be.

When he sits up again, he grabs the yellow notepad from his desk, bites the lid off of his black biro pen, and he starts scribbling.

--

Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't.

In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.

A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you're going in life, and who you want to take along with you.

Serpentes by xErised

It's a shame that Draco Malfoy looks so good stripping in a club with stolen snakes, because Auror Harry's got a job to do.

Once More With Feeling by InnerLilith

Draco is dosed with a consummation-compelling potion, with Harry Potter as his intended. It’s a cruel irony, because he’s wanted Potter for years. But not like this.

In which the boys try to deal with the fallout from an excruciating fuck-or-die, and end up with much more than either of them expected.

The Foxing Ring by Vukovich @vukovich

What. The. Fluff.*

Harry's got no magic, one good ear, no great dating prospects, and a nice little wand workshop.

Draco's got too much magic, a history of biting off ears, no great dating prospects, and a growing fondness for wandmakers. And a very fetching tail.

*and smut!

any day now by oknowkiss @oknowkiss

Draco supposes he should be grateful. 

The rehabilitation centres were the Minister’s idea, or that’s what the Prophet said anyway. Their stated objective is simple: to provide a safe space for low-tier Death Eaters and high-tier sympathisers to reconsider the entirety of their life choices. All guests–because no one is a prisoner here, the literature brags–are to be provided with shelter, food, clothing, and the guided support of a Mind Healer via a programme they call “ideological restructuring,” which is, of course, mandatory. 

//

OR: Draco Malfoy considers the circle.

Ten Steps To Learn Everything About Draco Malfoy by bafflinghaze @bafflinghaze

It’s a horrible day when Harry needs to visit Gringotts: the goblins there detest him, and it’s a frustrating bureaucratic battle to get anything done.

But that all changes when Malfoy starts working at Gringotts.

What was Malfoy doing before? What is Malfoy doing now? Harry has an endless list of questions, and there’s only one way to get them all answered (visiting Gringotts extremely frequently), and Malfoy won’t suspect a thing.

Turns out that Harry doesn’t suspect a thing either.

A Soft Spot for Lost Causes by Helenish

"Remember at school? Weasel? You’re so poor and dirty?" Ron said encouragingly "You hated me."

"I did," Draco said. (Dron)

An Inconvenient Attachment by FangQueen @fangqueen

Draco Malfoy has a secret ― a crush that he's harboured for years. He poured his heart out into his journals at school, but now over twelve years later, he'd rather just forget it all. He's wrapped up in the world of being Pansy's Best Man, helping her put the finishing touches on what's supposed to be her happiest day, when the letters start getting leaked. Will Ron Weasley ever figure out they're all for him? And if so, what will be his reply? (Dron)

Between the Lines by Dementordelta

Harry discovers a secret in his Potions text and a friend in the Half-Blood Prince. (Snarry)

A few curveballs in this Month I know, but different ships can be fun!

🏳️‍🌈 safe experimentation — @juliusschmidt

1.675 words / @girldirectionfest / Harry x Louis

Louis and her girlfriend are on a break for the summer. In the meantime, she reconnects with her best friend Harry.

This is a lovely little girl direction fic that includes snippets of Louis and Harry’s relationship as best friends. Harry’s experience coming out as pansexual is very true to life and relatable to those of us with less ‘visible’ sexual and romantic identities. Her coming out and later encouragement of Louis’ sexual experimentation is kept lighthearted and fun, guaranteed to leave you smiling.

🏳️‍🌈 With Purpose — may__a

1.687 words / Harry x Louis

Louis pulled away with startled eyes and flushed cheeks, but he quickly regained his composure. He was always one to have a purpose for everything, he never acted recklessly or without thinking. So, if he had to continue doing this to prove a point, he would. He was in control. He totally didn’t kiss his best-friend-of-eight-years’ cheek without purpose.

This fic was an adorable coming out between friends, coupled with a love confession. Light on the angst, but heavy on the heartwarming.

🏳️‍🌈 Use You As A Focal Point — Jiksa / @jiksax

2.090 words / Louis x Grimmy

“What am I, the fucking twink whisperer? You’ve been nothing but horrible to me. Last time I tried to kiss you, you lobbed a Chelsea boot at my head.” Louis shows up at Nick’s front door on the wrong side of midnight, asking for… things.

This fic portrays a common scene in the lgbtqia community. It’s about when you like someone, but are still in doubt about your sexuality, and it makes you behave unkindly towards your loved ones. However, in reality as in fiction, love always wins.

🏳️‍🌈 Dancing in the mint flavored moonlight — boneless

4.175 words / Harry x Louis

Harry is one of the most important people in their life. He is so supportive of them and is just a fountain of praise when Louis does something that scares them, like wearing a full face of makeup out in public or even wearing a small bit of makeup on their bad days. Harry constantly validates Louis on bad days and is just there from them constantly. Louis may be a star, but to Louis, Harry is a supernova. The one where ot5 isn’t cis, Louis has the best friends someone could ask for and makeup is in there somewhere.

We all want to love and to be loved, not in the same ways for sure, but we are always looking for love. This fic presents a beautiful relationship between our beloved ot5 boys and shows how the ones who love you will always be there for you. The most special part of the fic is that none of them are cis, making it a unique setting in the 1d fan fiction world.

🏳️‍🌈 Coming Home and Coming Out — BeautifulWisdom / @justanotherghostblr

8.438 words / @1dchristmasfest / Harry x Louis

Louise brings Harry home with her for the holidays. Her mum brings her old male friend to try and set them up. The problem: Harry is Louise's girlfriend of two years and her mum doesn't know she's a lesbian. The result: Lots of laughter and tears and confessions and love and Christmas feelings, a dog and a very important question.

Despite being a Christmas fic, this one is just perfect for the pride rec. It’s wonderfully fluffy, with just the right amount of angst to keep you on your toes. The author manages to write about different coming out experiences — how easy it can be sometimes, and how hard it can be at other times — and wraps it all up with a pretty bow and happy end.

—-

As always, support the authors by leaving kudos and comments! Happy reading!

Additionally to this month's rec being pride themed, we want to bring attention to three of our tags:

GENDERQUEER;

LGBTQIA STORIES;

and COMING OUT!

By clicking through these links, you can find all the fics we’ve ever rec’ed that feature gender issues, general LGBTQ+ themes, or coming out storylines. You can also find last year's pride rec here! —xx FYMHM

🤍 Darling, so it goes by @disgruntledkittenface --- [fic post]

larry | 195k | explicit

Harry Styles is a world-famous actor at the height of his career but a personal low point when he meets His Serene Highness Prince Louis of Monaco by chance. He doesn’t think they’ll ever see each other again, but after striking up a correspondence, it turns out they have more in common than he thought. Then they start to fall for each other. Louis is different from anyone Harry has dated before and their relationship moves fast as Harry realizes he’s ready for a change. Soon Harry finds himself adapting to an entirely new life, in a country where he doesn’t know the rules, the customs, even the language. Harry is used to people underestimating him, and he’s more determined than ever to prove them wrong.

He just needs Louis to meet him halfway.

Grace Kelly AU.

🤍 A Fantastic Wreck by 13ways

larry | 134k | explicit

Prince Louis William Tomlinson, heir to the Kingdom of Doncaster, has arrived in Rome to make an important announcement— his betrothal to Princess Eleanor of Anesidora, whom he barely knows. His grandfather, King William, lies gravely ill, and the country’s fate is in his hands.

What harm could it possibly be to leave the embassy for one day? Prince Louis has never fallen in love, mainly because he has a secret that cannot be disclosed. He’s never even had a proper kiss.

When he bumps into a journalist named Harry Styles, their mutual attraction is undeniable. But Harry, too, has a secret.

A Roman Holiday AU

“Fertile,” Louis says, and then laughs because it sounds stupid to say out loud. He hasn’t ever really thought of himself in those terms. Baby-making terms. It’s just one of those things his body can do, like exercise, or go without tea. Doesn’t mean he will.

lilo | 24k |  explicit

"It'll be fun," Louis tells Liam quietly. If it was anyone else's break-up, Louis would know exactly what to do, what balance of fondness and foolishness he'd need to give, but he's totally lost with Liam. Louis has no idea what he might need, what could make him feel better, so in the end he gives Liam the only thing he has: "We can order take away and play videogames and fuck about for a few days. I'll get Harry to bring us groceries, we won't even need to leave the house. Come on, Liam, come live with me."

“We need to talk,” Niall said as he plopped down on Louis’ bed. “It’s you and Harry. You like him, he likes you, it’s a match made in heaven and you will one day be mates,”

Louis shook his head in exasperation. “If you’ve been watching, you would see that Harry is interested in, like, alpha alphas. Not me.”

“What the fuck is an alpha alpha?” Niall asked with furrowed brows.

“You know what I mean,” Louis said, giving Niall a pointed look.

“I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Louis finally looked up, staring at the same boy from the laundry room, his hair dry and soft looking, a short quiff at the top of his head. “Hey, uh, Liam, right?”

The tall alpha nodded. “Not a problem, Louis?” The omega nodded. “Is your wrist okay?” Before Louis could answer, he felt a rush of calm wash over him, as though he took a shot of whiskey. He watched as Liam closed his eyes and smiled.

Louis cleared his throat, having forgotten for a second that he had even fallen. “I think so. I didn’t put all of my weight on it, at least I don’t think I did. I’m sure Harry will insist on wrapping it when we get upstairs either way.”

“Good, that’s good.” They stood there awkwardly, Liam’s hands still holding Louis’s arm, both just staring, neither saying anything.

Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.”

“That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

welcome to softly reading, in which i list every single drarry fic i’ve read this month in hopes that you, dear reader, find a fic you like too!

✩ - a fave | 🔥 - hot | 🌼 - gentle read

longer reads

✩ As the Lights Lift Around Us by @zeziliazink [M, 25k] 🌼

In which our heroes become reacquainted in a pub, spend a whole day together that turns into night, and then...? Featuring a minor freakout (Draco), a brand new song (Harry), and affectionate exasperation (all of their friends). Will Draco figure his shit out before Harry gives up? Will Harry survive the Venomous Tentacula? Will Draco ever decide which tea he wants? Will Harry's HooTube commenters ever forgive him for falling in love? Recced to me by @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm

Vale Sanare by RurouniHime [M, 23k]

Draco’s world gains a new component just when he thought he’d sorted everything out.

be my breath (through the deep, deep water) by GammaRey [M, 13k]

Draco just wanted to make it through his eighth year. Having Harry Potter as his potions partner was complicated enough, but when their potion decides it has its own agenda, his life only gets deeper in the weeds.

✩ facedown on my bed (thinking of you) by @onbeinganangel [M, 10k] 🌼

Sometimes the feelings you have for your enemy-turned-roommate-turned-bff are not as platonic as you think. Sometimes you're the last person to realise it.

Home County by orphan account [G, 10k] 🌼

Harry is an architect and the reluctant part-owner of his own firm. Malfoy works at The Ministry but doesn’t actually have a proper job title even though what he does sounds as though it’s pretty important. It would probably be harder not to become friends, when they have to sit through endless, dull meetings with each other, and skirt around some truly terrible weather, and deal with Harry’s irrational hatred of his assistant, and build thirty whole houses from the ground up in a wet field outside of London.

short & sweet (< 10k)

Just a trial run by @tenthousandyearsx [E, 9.1k] 🔥

In which Harry wants to get into sex work and Draco would prefer to keep him for himself.

In the Ways That Matter by FleetofShippyShips [T, 9k]

Falling asleep with Harry Potter mid-argument, while completely pissed, was something Draco could never have predicted happening when he returned for his repeat seventh-year at Hogwarts. But it happened. And then it happened again. And again. At some point the alcohol was gone, and they were just falling asleep side by side night after night, escaping nightmares together. It isn't anything more than that, even if sometimes it really feels like it is. [H/D Consent Fest 2018]

Making a Politician Shut Up: A Lover’s Guide by Lokifan [E, 7.5k] 🔥

Draco is the youngest member of the Wizengamot; being a politician has not made him less likely to run his mouth. Harry would just like one damn shag - evening - without Draco running his mouth.

✩ Not Nineteen Forever by @sorrybutblog [E, 5.9k] 🔥

A rogue charm hits on a mission and suddenly, Draco is nineteen again. Harry is still thirty-five and doing his best to look after his de-aged Auror partner (and forget about his long unrequited crush) until St. Mungo’s can brew the antidote. Only, Draco insists on wandering around Harry’s flat wearing nothing but Harry’s pants, flirting like his life depends on it and in the end, Harry’s only human after all.

✩ Of Mirrors, Myths, and Men by @the-starryknight [E, 5.4k] 🔥

After years of renovations on the Manor, Draco has one room left: the Ballroom. Harry Potter’s repair skills come highly recommended. But from the moment Potter stepped foot in the Manor, something burned between them, far more compelling than Draco could have ever anticipated. [H/D Remix 2021]

Only the sun (only the sun) by @sky-is-torn [G, 4.2k]

A terrible curse was placed on Prince Draco when he was still in his crib. Anyone unworthy who touches him will die instantly. On his twentieth birthday, he sets out after the sorcerer who cursed him... but fate has other plans for him.

✩ The Room by loverloverlover [T, 3.4k] 🌼

It’s eighth year, and Harry and Draco are spending hours together in the Room of Requirement. What will happen when they decide to make amends? Tap-tap-tap-tap. A story told in five parts.

Hung Parliament by Lokifan [E, 1.7k] 🔥

Politics make Harry want to smack someone. Luckily, he has Draco there to be smacked.

✩ Midnight Madness by @novembersnowflake [T, 1.6k]

"You're drunk," Harry said. / The corner of Malfoy's mouth curled wryly. "Just enough to make me brave."

✩ Baby, make me a new blank page by @achillesangst [E, 917 words] 🔥🏳️‍⚧️

After the war, Harry wants to let go. Draco craves control. It works, messily.

So. Since I keep a list of what I´ve read anyway (there´s always a list), I will rec all the fics I´ve wholly enjoyed on a monthly basis. Old and new, canon or AU, big or small authors, long or short but nearly always Johnlock(-ish).

“Slipstream” by khorazir @khorazir

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15975143

Such a lovely and sweet Johnlock story. A suspenseful Tour de France with evil Jim who has you on the edge what evil things he´ll do next. What surprised me the most was that I completely enjoyed reading the cycling parts whereas IRL I have no interest in or knowledge of pro cycling at all. Now I can see where the fascination comes from. Descriptions of the landscape/villages add a lot to the all-around France-vibe. Also, khorazir´s detailed artworks for each chapter are awesome.

“The Mole” by ChrisCalledMeSweetie @chriscalledmesweetie 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8284384

Reading this was so much fun! A game show AU where the players (and the reader) has to find the one who sabotages the others. I most liked the part where they have to rank each other concerning like/hate and give a reason for their ranking. Their answers are so hilarious and totally in character. 

"The Bang and the Clatter” by earlgreytea68 @earlgreytea68

https://archiveofourown.org/works/744242

A Baseball AU. Again, you don´t have to know anything about baseball to understand this slowburn and coming out story. Sherlock in his initial cluelessness is hilarious, assuming he has a brain tumor because he feels... things. But when Johnlock happened, he is fierce af to go against their enemy Jim.

“Catch” by helloliriels @helloliriels​ 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/36735820

Short fic. Set post-TSOT, John finds Sherlock in the doss house and a conversation ensues. Heartbreakinginly beautiful. Or beautifully heartbreaking.

“Fading Stars and Black Holes” by lurikko

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30483453

So much Slowburn, Pining, Insecurity, in Capital Letters! Sherlock and John are actors who have to play in a movie together after Sherlock vanished on John without an explanation years ago. The painful speech- and wordlessness of Sherlock concerning his emotions makes you want to kick and hug him at the same time. John is not much better. Just say it, damn!

“A Terrific Soporific” by antietamfalls

https://archiveofourown.org/works/900516

Insomniac Sherlock finds out that sleeping in a bed together with John is the best soporific and does everything to keep it that way.

Fandom: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy Relationships: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker & Jedi Council Characters: Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Ahsoka Tano, Jedi Council (Star Wars) Additional Tags: Anakin Skywalker Has Issues, Anakin Skywalker Has ADHD, Anakin Skywalker is Neurodivergent, Anakin Skywalker is Trying, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Jedi June Appreciation Event 2022, yes i know it is distinctly not june, Obi-Wan Kenobi Loves Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi is Anakin Skywalker's Parent, Jedi as Found Family (Star Wars), Jedi Council Positive, Jedi Positive, Character Study, Sort Of, Definitely a study of Anakin's neuroses Summary:

Though Master Windu's stern expression didn't change, there was a faint air of approval surrounding him as he leaned forward.

“Welcome to the Jedi Council, Knight Skywalker.”

--

In which a Sith plan kicks off a little early, the Council gets a new member, and Anakin has a minor meltdown.

I wrote a fic where Anakin gets added to the Jedi Council a year early because I wanted to set up a crack fic with annoying little brother Anakin hanging out with Plo and Depa and Mace and somehow wrote an introspective therapy fic where Obi-Wan helps Anakin work through his problems the way we all wish they could’ve in ROTS. Ooooops! This also was originally for @jedijune (for the commitment/service prompt) but work drama and mental health means I didn’t finish it in time. 

#anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #jedi june 2022 #jedi council #this fic is just a love letter to neurodivergent coded anakin tbh #and my desire to see him get along with the rest of the order #flimsi tag #fic rec #sw fic rec

After the Fall (Sesshomaru/Miroku; M; complete) by zzoaozz (Ao3)

In it's aftermath the survivors must pick up what is left of themselves and build a new life in a world where everything has been changed forever.

Everyday Romance (Bankotsu/Inuyasha; ratings vary; ongoing) by Lynx212 and Vexed_Wench (both Ao3)

A humorous AU story collection featuring Inuyasha/Bankotsu with many appearances from Sesshoumaru and the side pairing of Kouga/Miroku. Most are set in modern times some are set in the Feudal era, either way much hilarity ensues as these two live, laugh and love together. Many cameo's from the other characters as well.

The Heart Knows Damn Well What it Wants (Sesshomaru/Miroku; T; ongoing) by Artaholic234 (Ao3)

Just a bunch of prompts and ideas stuck in my head, that that I'm going to torture the Inuyasha fandom with.

Hiiiiissssssss Power (Hojo/Inuyasha; E, ongoing) by PaperFox19 (Ao3)

Hojo is a snake demon, has been since he was born. Using a charm he’s masked his presence and been very patient but now is the time to strike. He gains some jewel shards and learns about the feudal era.

Liar (Ryukotsusei/Toga; T; complete) by Empatheia (Ao3)

At the far end of desperation there is a chance of transformation.

Paper Flowers (Naraku/Sesshomaru/Kikyo; E; complete) by @kagkik/marsmagari (Ao3)

An exiled king, a clay doll, and a spider come together in an abandoned castle sunken in mist, and seek refuge in each other from the grim, forsaken world outside. Touch is the only means to fill an empty space inside a counterfeit heart.

Red as Blood (Bankotsu/Jakotsu; T; ongoing) by Identitetris (Ao3)

A tale of the rise and fall of the Shichinintai, the most feared mercenaries of all time. A story about the human beings behind this reverential name. About war and peace. Camaraderie and trust. About impermanence. And a little bit about love too.

A Secret Santa (Sesshomaru/Naraku; T; complete) by @roseheartwhitefox

Naraku loved his job working at Walmart.

He loved it because most of the time, people shopping at Walmart were miserable. They were tired, overworked, underpaid, and generally disgruntled human beings. Not much unlike himself. 

It was a glorious job. 

It brought Naraku great pleasure to watch the miserable customers plowing through the store at the hand of life’s struggles. That was the case at the store pretty much all the time, except for one time of year.

Christmas.

Sex on the Beach (Hojo/Jakotsu; T; complete) by @neutronstarchild

“Sex On The Beach, please.” If Hōjō had known what those words would ultimately do to him, maybe he would not have said them. Unfortunately, Hōjō did say them, and it was going to change everything.

Shock! (Hiten/Bankotsu; E; complete) by LoboVerdeYZ (Ao3)

After being separated for some time, two lovers are briefly reunited. And Bankotsu is reminded of the wonderful things that a thunder-demon can do.

Silentium (Sesshomaru/Miroku; T; ongoing) by InklessWasteland (Ao3)

Series of stories about an evolving relationship between Sesshōmaru and Miroku.

untitled college au (Renkotsu/Ginkotsu; T; complete) by imahira (Ao3)

Wet and yucky (Jakotsu/Naraku; T; complete) by Lord_Yaulendil (Ao3)

A zombie and a hanyou in a basement. AU. Consider it a crackfic.
